The recent acquisitions of archaeological findings of bamboo slips in many institutions in China provide us a good significance for the study of development of mathematics in Ancient China.

These includes Tsinghua University (arithmetic table, dated from the Warring States period), the Yuelu Academy (bamboo slips of the book “mathematics”, Qin Dynasty), the Beijing University (bamboo slips of mathematics, dated in the Qin Dynasty), and the Hubei Museum (Han bamboo slips of mathematics at the found on “land of sleeping tiger”, Han Dynasty).

Firstly, it gives us rare first-hand information on the knowledge of mathematics in Ancient China.

Secondly, it helps to clarify that the nihilistic attitude holds by some scholars on the development of early Chinese mathematics was unfounded.

Thirdly, it provided strong evidence in the study of Chinese mathematics, that the major methods and mathematics problems in Jiuzhang Suanshu (Nine Chapters) was completed in early Qin period.

Most importantly, it provides reliable literature to support that the first peak of mathematics achievement in China was in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period.

In the past, the statement was only supported by the evidence of the work of Jiuzhang Suanshu and its explanations and remarks made by Liu Hui.
